upon bridge gate-keeper to whom he
refused to pay toll, became violently in

the mad delirium was attempting to de-
vour himself He was biting vigorously
and viciously at his arms and hands and
with every snap of his sharp teeth
tearing away the flesh from
these members in strips, leav-
ing them raw and bloody. Ropes
were obtained, and with considerable
difficulty the fellow was lassoed and then
securely bound and placed in position
to be unable to infiict further injury upon
himself Fuchs continued violent even
after he was bound. and it was necessary
for the physicians to place him under the
influence of opiates before they could
quiet him sufficiently to give his wounds

will be made by all Dakota to have this
bill passed. The prospects were never
better that the bill'will go through with
out opposition. The Indians prefer this
way of disposing of the reservation to an
allotment of the land in severalty, as
they get more pay for the land under the
provisions of the bill to be submitted to

Congressman Contemplate Changes Which
VIII Save the Country Much Money.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-An important
change is contemplated in the rules of
the house for the coming congress,
which, if effected, will obviate the ex-
penditure of a large sum of money an
nually. Instead of the usual practice of
introducing bills of private nature
openly in the house, it is proposed to
send them to the committee in the.na-
ture of petitions. Several hundred
copies of each bill are printed when
first introduced, and great many
are printed on almost every stage on their
passage.
The government can save from 500,
900 to $3.50. 900 every congress by abolish
ing the printing of these private bills.

The time is rapidly approaching
when the school directors will again
be called TO assemble in convention
for the purpose of electing Super
iutendent of our schools The Office
of Superintendent is highly i'm
( portant one, q fact which is admitted
by oil; indeed, 80 much import is
connected with it, that the success
and efficiency Of our schools depends
very largely rpon the man who is
selected to Gil it. Among the vaii-
ous persons who have announced
themselves as candidates for the po-
sition, is Prof. Charles w. Herman
Of Penn township, who is at present
engaged in teaching the Grammar
School in Adamsburg. Having
known this gentleman for q number
Of years aud therefore being fully
acquainted with his character and
qualifications, we feel free in heartily
recommending him to the thought
ful consideration Of our directors.
That be is amply qualified aud able
10 discharge all the duties pertaining
TO the Office Of County Superinten,
dent there mead be no doubt. He
has had ten years practical experi-
ence 10 the school room. He com-
meuced teaching fifteen years ago
at the age OF sixteen; ever since he
has continued at the same work,
excepting five years during which
he pnrsued his collegiate studies.
He taught two years 10 Ohio, aud
the same length Of time in Kansas az
principal of the Monroyia graded
school During 1916 he had charge
of the Pottsgroye Academy, a pri-
vate institution. Thus, it will DO
seen that he has had an extensive
experience 10 practical school wolk,
and that he has enjoyed excellent
opportunities to observe the eompar
ative merits Of different methods Of
instruction aud OF various systems
Of schools. la roint OF eduos>
tion he is 30 less fitted for the place.
After completing full curse of
study, which required three years, in
the Missionary Institute at Selins-
grove, he entered the University at

thereafter with the class Of 'e5-

receiving the degree Of Bichelor Of
Arts. Besides, he has had consider
able Normal training, as he general-
ly attended the Normal Institutes"
held between the school terms. As
to his cbarac,er-it is quite beyond
reproach. Moreover, when we con-
slider the disadvantages and adverse
circumstances that he bad TO strive
against, coupled with the fact that
he has worked bic own way unaided.
we are forced to believe that he pos
sesses more than a modicum Of ins
berent worth and natural ability.
His long service as a teacher also
shows that he has q love, a natural
inclination, for educational work.
Indeed we are qnite sure that all

wisdom and good judgment for the
